- Reference is now made to Fig. 1 which illustrates a detonator constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The present invention has a characteristic delay of minimally 14 seconds and typically 17 seconds at a temperature of 63° C, while being capable of continuous burning at high spin rates of the order of 12,000 rpm.
- As shown in Fig. 1, there is provided a detonator including a
cylindrical housing 10 typically formed of stainless steel. Disposed at a first end of thecylindrical housing 10 is afirst end cap 12, typically formed of aluminum and sealed with respect to thecylindrical housing 10 typically by a sealing lacquer. - Disposed within the
end cap 12 are adelay primer stage 14, typically comprising initiator, and anignition powder stage 16, typically comprising a gasless ignition powder, such as composition AlA. - Adjacent to
ignition powder stage 16 there is provided anintermediate composition stage 18, typically formed of an intermediate composition having a high calorific value and a burning rate much lower than that of A1A.Stage 18 is preferably formed with a first forward facingrecess 20 formed therein.Recess 20 is preferably rotationally symmetric about thelongitudinal axis 22 of thecylindrical housing 10 and is formed with plural steps, typically two in number, as shown. - A first tungsten

Disposed withinsecond end cap 60 is adelay booster stage 62, typically comprising lead azide RD 1333. - The
end cap 60 is sealed with respect to thecylindrical housing 10 by phenol-formaldehyde varnish. - It will be appreciated that the detonator of the present invention provides increased reliability as compared to prior art detonators due to the increase in contact area between the layers of delay material caused by the recesses and protrusions. This increase in contact allows a decrease in the diameter of the delay tube without sacrificing reliability.
- Other factors contributing to increased reliability are the orientation of the layers of delay material and the gradual passage from layers with a fast burning rate to layers with a slow burning rate.
- It will be noted that the detonator of the present invention is operative even in conditions of temperatures as low as -46°C, spin rates of the order of 12,000 rpm and in a direction which causes a centrifugal force to develop opposite the direction of burning.
- It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by what has been particularly shown and described hereinabove. Rather the scope of the present invention is defined only by the claims which follow:
